TESTING AIR BRAKES
INTERESTING EXHIBIT OF THE sYs-
TEN APPLIED TO A FREIGHT.

Evident Superiority OF the New Freight
Brake Over the Ordinary Passenger
Brake rs Shown by Comparison---Re-
suits Of the Test Most Satisfactory.
NEW YORK, Nov. pa special train
Monday took about 300 gentlemen to
Ridgefeld Park, N. j., on the West
Shore railroad, where a number Of tests
were made by the Westinghouse Air
Brake company of the new application Of
it's system of braking to long freight trains.
weighing 1900, 900 pounds, drawn by
mighty engine of the Chicago, Burllng-
ton g. Quincy road, was used in the eX-
periments. An emergency stop with the
freight train running twenty miles an
hour was the first test. The brake was
applied and in twelve and quarter
seconds the train was at q stand
still, having run less than 200 feet.
The next test was made with similar
conditions, except that the train was run
at q speed of forty-one miles an hour.
This time the train was stopped in
twenty seconds, and at distance of 6741a
feet. The third test was of the rapidlty
with which the brakes were applied, the
train standing still so that observers
could tell the time which elapsed between
the engine whistle which announced the
application of the power and the sound
of the moving brakes at various distances
along the train.
The last test was, spectacularly, the
best of the afternoon. It was intended
to show the relative stopping power Of
the old brakes, as used on twelve-coach
passenger trains, and the new brakes on
a twenty-car freight train. Down the
tracks, chimney and chimney, came the
two trains at q speed Of forty
five miles an hour. The brakes
on both trains were applied simultane-
ously, but the new brake distanced the
old one, the freight train stopping in
thirteen and one-half seconds, distance
of 495 feet, while the passenger train
went on travelling until the engine was
1900 feet from the point where the brakes

Necessary, and Refuses to Form - Min

! PARIS, Nov. 23.-M. Clemenceau had q
long conference with President Grevy
Tuesday morning. lasting three hours.
Mr.. Grevy asked NJ. Clemenceau to un-
dertake the formation Of cabinet, adding
that he gave him every latitude in the
choice of his colleagues. M. Clemenceau,
while thanking M. Grevy for having
thought of him for the presidency of the

he did not shrink from the responsible
ties of power, for he was convinced that
there was d reform majority in the cham
ber Of deputies

Mr. President, but now it is no longer

we have TO solve; we must solve the

NJ. Grevy then asked NJ. Clemencau
whether he would be disposed not to op-
pose q cabinet of WHICH the chief leader

nate the head. M. Clemenceau likewise
refused to agree to any such arrange
ment, giving the same reasons as those
that had caused him to decline tho prcsi-
dency of the council of ministers. A
long conversation between NJ. Greyy and
M. Clemenceau followed. While doing
justice to the devotion of NJ. Grevy to

orable. He declared to Grevy that in re-
signing he would render O. last service to

VIEW WITH DlSTRUST
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS SUSPICIOUS
OF THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

They Consider Indications Point to Collu-
sion in the Indemnity Lands Suits
Northern Pacific Officials Denounce the
Matter AZ Wholly Sensational.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Some of the
interior department officials look with a
good deal of suspicion upon the suits
which dispatches from St. Paul announce
have just been instituted by the North
ern Pacific railroad against cer-
tain settlers in Dakota; the object
of which is to get a decision that
will reverse the stand taken by Secretary
Lamar on Aug. 10 in his decision in re-
gard to the indemnity lands Of the North
ern Pacific company. The indications
are thought to point to as scollusive suit.
The suits were commenced at a mo-
ment when there was a vac lncy in
the Office OF commissioner of the general
land office, and while the suit can, Of
course, not be prosecuted without at
tracing the attention of Mr.. Sparks sue
cessor, it looks little as if the company
wanted to get its work in during the in
teregnum, as the United States is not,
according to the St. Paul Dispatch, u
party to the suit.
T. NJ. Dudley, of the legal department
of the Northern Pacific in st. Paul, was
seen respecting the statements.
t"The article consists simply of & col
lection of mis- statements and falsehoods.
1t is based entirely upon the suppositioE.
that the Northern Pacific Railway com
pany has entered suit against certain set
tiers located within the company's SEQ
ond indemnity belt in Dakota,
and from that foundation the
correspondent has built up a. start
Of fact, I wish to state in the most dis
tinct manner that the company has en-
tered no such suits as those described
against any Dakota settler, nor has it
any need to do so.
